Affordable Security, Great Neighborhood App
The video/audio quality is great, I’m sure it is dependent on multiple factors (WiFi, light access, objects in the way, etc.), but my experience has been excellent. Even though I left the areas of activity pretty sensitive (posted video is of it triggering on a passing vehicle) the battery is not draining quickly as others reported, in fact I don’t think it has dropped from the 90% range since purchase. It has been through three big storms with zero damage or effect of any kind. I get notifications quickly, well before people get to the door, although I have yet to have a stranger ring the bell so I have not tested speaking through the app.
I think the video quality is clear and I can identify people easily both in daytime and night.
There is occasional lag with live view, but I don’t have any determining factors that dictate when it will lag or not.
The setup was easy, even having to drill through brick.
I also love that people in my neighborhood update in the app frequently leaving pictures and videos of suspicious characters or salespeople. It feels like a responsive and active community.
I have zero complaints and am 100% satisfied. I feel safe and secure in the knowledge that I have forewarning of any people who pass by or onto my property.
I have only had it active for about a week, if anything changes I will update, but for now I am very happy that I went with Ring.
